Gas Safe

I found a very odd thing in Park Lane People.

Apparently, in June 2008 the HSE announced Capita as the prefered bidder to run a new gas installer registration scheme to take over from Corgi.

The new scheme is called Gas Safe - which seems odd. Because surely everyone knows about Corgi. Why change it? Why spend millions on advertising a new name when there's already one that the public know and trust?

And how on earth do Capita keep getting these contracts? On second thoughts....I don't want to know.
